Josh Johnson is a stand-up, Emmy-nominated writer, performer, and NAACP award-winner from

Louisiana by way of Chicago. He is currently a writer on The Daily Show, and is a former writer and

performer on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he made his late-night debut. Johnson is

Comedy Central’s ‘most watched comedian ever’ with 40M+ views to date across their platforms.

Comedy Central’s “Comic to Watch” in 2015, a “New Face” at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in

2016, and “New York's Funniest” in 2018.

Comedy Central released Johnson’s first hour-long special #(Hashtag) in June 2021, and he taped his

second hour-long special at The Bourbon Room in Los Angeles in May 2022, which is set to debut early

2023.

Johnson’s self-released comedy and music mixtape album Elusive, was described by Vanyaland as “live

stand-up observational humor with musical compositions. Both elements wade in and out of political

and social waters between the two “arcs” of the multi-genre epic". Johnson also co-hosts two podcasts,

The Josh Johnson Show (with fellow stand-up Logan Nielsen) and Hold Up (with The Daily Show colleague

Dulcé Sloan).
